Chapter 407
Cedric took Sienna back to Sunshine Neighborhood.
“Mommy’s back!” Joyce ran over with a hop and a skip, throwing herself into Sienna’s arms and peering behind her.
Josiah did not lie to her. He mentioned that Sienna would be back today, and Sienna really came back.
“Hello, Mr. F- Mr. Brawne… Joyce blinked her big eyes. When she saw the person behind Sienna clearly, she realized it was Cedric, not Josial.
“Hello, Joyce. Cedric smiled and patted her little head. Then, he looked at Sienna.
Sienna, you stay with Joyce and take a good rest. I’ll leave now,” Cedric said.
“Okay. Sienna smiled as she walked him to the door. “Thank you for your help with my matters. Let me know when you’re free, and I’ll treat you and Conner to a meal.”
They were busy for the whole night because of her, so she wanted to thank them.
Cedric was stunned for a moment, and his smile faltered slightly. “Sure.”
Well, drive safe,” Sienna said.
“Okay.” Cedric nodded, his throat tight with unspoken words. In the end, he said nothing and turned to leave.
Back at her apartment, Sienna ate, took a shower, and lay down, hoping to catch up on some sleep.
Joyce, clutching her Minnie Mouse doll, snuggled into her mother’s arms. “Mommy, I’ll stay with you.”
“Good girl.” Sienna smiled, holding her sweet–smelling daughter close, her heart melting at the sight.
“Mommy?” Joyce looked up, asking softly, “Do you like Mr. Brawne?”
Sienna was surprised. “Why would you ask that, Joyce?”
“Because you’re always with Mr. Brawne now.” Joyce pouted, her voice muffled. “Mommy, don’t you like Mr. Flynn anymore?”
Joyce would always assume any mister to be Josiah.
“Mommy.” Joyce burrowed deeper into her arms. “Mr. Flynn came to see me last night. He read me stories and put me to bed.”
Sienna was surprised that Josiah had gone to Sunshine Neighborhood to take care of Joyce the previous night.
Suddenly she remembered that she seemed to have seen him last night as well.
It was at the hospital. Josiah had visited her.
It felt surreal as she was running a fever and felt agitated.
She seemed to have gone overboard with her words.
Now that she had sobered up, Sienna realized it wasn’t a dream.
Not only that, but he also came to take care of Joyce.
It seemed that he knew that Sienna was taken to the police station.
Although they hadn’t been in touch recently, Cedric’s cousin, Yosef, was his close friend. It wouldn’t be surprising that he would know what happened to her.
Although they agreed not to be involved with each other anymore, when something happened to her, he would come to help take care of Joyce, and Sienna was grateful for that.
Although Josiah was cold–hearted, he had a tender side to those he cared about.
“Joyce, Sienna looked at her daughter, carefully choosing her words. “I’m sorry, but Mr. Flynn and I can’t be together anymore, but if you like him,
you can still see him.”
“Really?” Joyce’s face lit up. “I can still see Mr. Flynn?”
“Yes.” Sienna wouldn’t stop Joyce from seeing Josiah. He was Joyce’s father, after all. As Joyce grew older, she would find out one day.

Joyce had the right to know. If she wanted to see her father, she had the right to.
“You’re the best.” Joyce smiled and hugged Sienna, patting her shoulder. “Mommy, I’m sleepy. Let’s go to sleep.”
“Okay.” Sienna nodded, thinking to herself that she would find a chance to ask Howard to pass on the message to Josiah.
Closing her eyes, Sienna recalled Josiah visiting her last night.
“I didn’t. I didn’t push her, Sienna said.
“I know you didn’t push her.”
I believe in you,” Josiah said.
“You’re lying. You don’t believe me at all. You’re such a liar, Sienna groaned.
Sienna thought to herself, “He wouldn’t have how many times it’s been…
The opportunity Sienna had been waiting for came soon enough.
It was time for Rosie’s bandages to come off.
On the day Rosie’s bandages were to be removed, Howard arrived at the hospital early in the morning. But, as Rosie had done for the past few days, she didn’t see him.
“Howard.” He was sitting on a bench by the door when Sienna arrived. She didn’t dare to go in rashly.
Howard nodded at her in acknowledgment.
Sienna went over to sit down next to him. “I would like to ask for a favor.”
“What is it?” Howard was slightly surprised, but he didn’t refuse her. “Tell me. No matter what it is, I’ll help you.”
“It’s not a big deal.” Sienna smiled. “I want you to help me deliver a message to Josiah. Tell him that he can call Tara anytime.”
“Tara?” Howard was puzzled. “Who is that?”
“It’s difficult to explain in a few words,” Sienna said. “Rosie’s getting her bandages removed today, so I won’t take up your time explaining. You can ask Josiah for the details.
Howard didn’t understand. “Why can’t you tell him yourself?”
“We…” Sienna smiled. “We agreed not to contact each other anymore.”
Before Howard could ask any more questions, the doctor, Ezra Atkins, and nurses pushed a cart over, ready to remove Rosie’s bandages.
Howard didn’t ask any more questions and entered the ward with Sienna.
In the ward, Rosie nervously held Sienna’s hand, her grip tightening.
After all this time being blind, she could finally see the light again as the bandages came off.
“Ms. Miller, we can begin now,” Ezra said.
“Okay. Rosie took a deep breath and nodded.
Ezra stepped forward and carefully unwrapped the bandages Peeling away the last layer, he cautioned, “We’ve dimmed the lights as much as possible, but your eyes might be sensitive from extended lack of exposure of light. Don’t rush it and slowly open your eyes.
“Okay Rosie nodded.
With the final layer removed, she didn’t open her eyes right away. Instead, she paused for a moment, then slowly peeked through a small gap before quickly closing them again.
“Rosie! Sienna gasped in alarm. “What’s wrong?”
“Sienna!“Rosie gripped her hand tightly, swallowing hard. “I… I can see the light! It’s so bright!”

“Oh…” Sienna was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled. “That’s wonderful news!” She encouraged, “Try opening your eyes again.”
“Okay.” Rosie took a deep breath and pressed her lips together. As she opened her eyes once more, her brows furrowed at first, then gradually
relaxed.
She saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was not the doctor, the nurse, or Sienna.
Howard stood tall, dressed in a tailored suit that fit him perfectly. His short hair was combed back, revealing sharp features, a handsome face, and a refined, scholarly air, just as she had first remembered him.
The difference was that back then, he had been sitting in a wheelchair, looking a little pale and frail, but now, he had ditched the wheelchair and the
cane.
Rosie’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
It turned out that when he stood up, he was so tall, with a strong physique, and excused such noble aura.
